benplace Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The person who posted the screenshots is NOT going to leak the build (Yes I talked to him). So don't count on it leaking unless someone else gets a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseiler Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 It's amusing how so many people assume that MS sends out all invitations at the same instant and then just slumbers until next year's Beta 2. Allow for the possibility that there will be more next week and then in the coming weeks when the test actually opens and they graduate to a larger pool.

#Michael Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Same here, I'm registered on x64/R2/OneCare, and I haven't got an invite.... 586186443[/snapback] Interesting that you say that you are registered on onecare considering it hasn't started yet. I am guessing you filled out the beta survey for it using the guest id? I know that some of us have been accepted to it already (myself included), we are just waiting for the beta to begin later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropcircles Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 If I do get an invite I'm really going to work harder at testing. I was a little over my head with Data Protection Manager 2006 at times as well as Windows Server 2003 R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dedicated a second machine to playing with it although its really meant for servers and such. To bad I am not in a bigger setup, I think I could have been more of a help.

" Very true, something this big has a staggerd invite... Sites said even with the amount invited already the connect website was working very slowly. I would expect the invites to continue to mid-week, if not beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My invite may still be in the "ether" after all I've tested every Windows release since Windows98. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping. Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 R2 beta will hopefully be added LH R2. This means they get added with Longhorn beta's client and server based system for further rigerous testing... Hope i help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoolKat2500 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Shhh, don't tell anyone, but you can find the beta on LimeWire. Serious, just do a search. Now downloading it is a different story! Wonder if they even work . . . :devil: So screw the invites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I really missing? Not much really. Neowin will keep me updated on the progress of the beta and screenshots anyway. Well, at least Paul Thurrott will for sure. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
